Get re*creations: practical-upcycled-handmade products.

What is a re*creation?

Re*creation Sticker
A recreation is a material product (or an implementable manual/how-to for a product) that always is:

a) practical to use
b) made from at least 50% rubbish
c) made entirely by hand

Re*creation Infographic

This means that re*creations by nature
- solve a current problem (that's-the-what's-in-it-for-me-question)
- reduce waste (that's-the-what's-in-it-for-us-question)
- are totally climate neutral (that's-the-what's-in-it-for-everyone-question)



Re*creations are similar to upcycled products just with tougher criteria. While an upcycled product may be made with the help of electronic tools, may in total reuse only a little bit of our rubbish or solve no real problem, a true re*creation must guarantee all of the criteria you can see in the infographic above!

Yes, true re*creations are very rare! But it is possible to create and produce them meeting the quality we desire! I like to set an example with my products and my art/crafts. They can all be tagged as re*creations. Check them out!

The following is only for those who want to learn even more about the new word and label re*creation

Learn why it makes sense to introduce a new word and label. Find out how you can apply this label to your ideas and products too. In order to do so you need to leave this simplistic site and get more information on a more complex site of mine by clicking here.

What's up?

Is on a BIG mission: making upcycling publicly well known.

Help me to do an upcycling awareness campaign. Use my RRR Ribbon! Link to my blog! Thanks!


Upcycling is a component of sustainability in which waste materials are used to provide new products. full wikipedia article.
